Ivan’s Motto: “That Equity May Prevail. One must keep this at the forefront, and believe it, because it’s so easy to get discouraged and quit. ” A number of regulators had approached me on some of the issues mentioned above. They asked if and when there would be a fi nished product, or at least something tentative that they could take back to their State. I didn’t have a good answer, other than “hopefully this July… if and when it comes to a vote!”

Dear NCWM Members,

Today as I write this next installment for the NCWM newsletter, it crossed my mind that there are only 179 days left as my time as Chairman. It’s going fast. I had two goals. One was to publish a NCWM retail motor fuel manual for inspectors to use and train with, (which has had positive reviews) and the other, (#2) a national LP survey. At present, one of those has been completed, and the other kicked o ff in February, can’t wait to get the results back from that. Keep in mind, the main goal for the NCWM Field Training Manual, was to simplify the complication’s that come with the use of HB44, 130, and EPO’s and make it an easy to read, reference guide for the Inspector! Since the end of the INTERIM in Tampa I have really started thinking more about other such publications. Scales come to mind. Ecommerce, testing requirements for electrical vehicles devices, mass fl ow meters used as testing devices. Cannabis! And the list goes on.

At our next Board meeting this Spring I’ll be asking the Board to consider an NCWM reference publication, similar to the newly developed RMFD publication. Two pressing issues that come to my mind are the Cannabis and E-commerce. For the Sake of Equity, Cannabis wants regulations, and E-commerce needs model regulations.

NCWM-News 1

EDU-2 Training Information was provided on NIST O ffi ce of Weights and Measures (OWM) trainings o ff ered in 2021 along with upcoming trainings in 2022. Updates to the laboratory metrology program, laws and metric program, legal metrology device program, and fi eld inspection trainings through NIST OWM were provided. NIST OWM Liaison provided comments on possible in-person training with class sizes limited to four (4) persons. NIST OWM is exploring hybrid-learning options, the possible o ff ering of videos and on demand trainings to meet future training needs. NIST OWM is in the process of creating an on-site training studio to enhance virtual training and production of training videos. EDU-3 Instructor Improvement I t was reported that no new work was completed in 2021 due to in-person training restrictions during the pandemic. The NIST OWM plans to continue collaboration e ff orts with external trainers in 2022. Appreciation was expressed to those trainers and organizations who participated in trainings. EDU-4 Topics for Conference Training An overview of recommended topics for conference training was provided by the PDC. Previous training topics

were discussed and the PDC solicited recommendations for future training topics PMT-1 Safety Awareness The PDC announced the new Safety Subcommittee Chair, John Bell (MO) who briefed the members on activities of the Safety subcommittee. The Annual Safety Awareness survey is being revised and will be sent out to state directors once fi nalized. Once comments are received, these will be consolidated for presentation at the 2022 Annual Meeting. The PDC expressed the appreciation for members who have previously served as regional safety representatives and for those who contributed to safety-related articles for NCWM newsletters. PMT-1 Skimmer Education Task Group The PDC reported the SETG continues educate, promote awareness and share information regarding payment card skimming and theft. At the Interim meeting, Linda Toth, managing director of Conexxus, provided an informative presentation the role of EMV is playing to reduce skimming incidents, status of this transition and how other technology factors can help reduce the risk of payment card fraud. The SETG has identi fi ed a potential speaker specializing in security for either the annual meeting in July 2022 or the

Speaking as an inspector we do not want to wait 5, 10, and 20 years for the “go ahead” so regulators are allowed to do their job, regulate! That is counterproductive to our Motto: That Equity May Prevail! In fact, it puts Equity on Hold! Maybe it’s time to revamp our motto, from “MAY” prevail, to “SHALL” prevail! - Ivan Hankins NCWM has the ability to publish our objectives in our own publication. We will be able to act on changes in market place, in a timelier manner than we are doing presently. Here’s a thought; Maybe it’s time to revamp our motto, from “MAY” prevail, to “SHALL” prevail!

Professional Development Committee Interim Summary

David Aguayo, San Luis Obispo County, California, Committee Chair

The 2022 Professional Development Committee (PDC) Interim Report consists of six (6) informational items. A PowerPoint presentation was provided to membership by PDC members providing details on each item. The presentation, with associated detailed statistical information, is available on the NCWM website under the PDC 2022 Interim Report. The Committee will continue their work on the analysis of this data to determine any future need for adjustments to exams. The Safety Awareness Subcommittee and the Skimmer Educational Task Group under the PDC, provided updates during open hearings. Information on all agenda items provided by the PDC are summarized below .

EDU-1 Professional Certi fi cation Program Updates were provided on the progress of the professional development exams and certi fi cate issuances by exam type and by jurisdiction, including recent trends due to proctoring requirements and pandemic restrictions. Information was provided on the progress of future exam development. The PDC discussed alternatives to assist jurisdictions in meeting the proctoring requirements including virtual proctoring which was initiated in May 2021. The PDC discussed the possibility of using the exams for service agency licensing for registering technician in multiple states.

NTEP Column NTEP Now Accepting Applications For Evaluating Two New Devices Types Darrell Flocken, NTEP Administrator

The National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP) is o ff on a running start in 2022. We are happy to announce that NTEP is accepting applications for the evaluation of operated Electric Vehicle Fueling Systems (EVSE), and Single Draft – Weigh-in-Motion Vehicle Scales. Please read on for more information on these new device types.Please read on for more information on these new device types.

Electric Vehicle Fueling Systems : On November 1, 2021, NTEP announced that we would begin accepting applications for the evaluation of EVSE, AC charging devices. This was possible because of the hard work of the NTEP Electrical Vehicle Supply Equipment Work Group in completing the Publication 14 checklist for evaluation of these devices.

exceeds the requirements of Handbook 44. However, be aware that a state or local jurisdictions, other than California, may not accept the operation of a device with a smaller measurement value than speci fi ed in Handbook 44. b. The speci fi cation related to the device’s ability to indicate the maximum rate of energy transfer. Since the California requirements are more strict than those in the Handbook 44 EVSE Code, NTEP views this as complying with the EVSE Code published in the Handbook. Single Draft – Weigh-in-Motion Vehicle Scales : At the 2021 NCWM Annual Meeting, the membership adopted changes to recognize the in-motion weighing of highway vehicles in commercial applications. Without getting into all the technical details, the new standards permit the weighing of vehicles while the entire vehicle is moving across the scale platform. What must be noted is that the performance/accuracy of this dynamic weighment is identical to the same vehicle being weighed statically. The NTEP Weighing/Belt-Conveyor Sector worked hard during their August 2021 Meeting to fi nalize the changes to the Publication 14 Checklist. This e ff ort has permitted NTEP to begin accepting applications for the evaluation of this new device type on January 21, 2021. If you have questions related to this information or the NTEP application or evaluation process please contact Mike Manheim at mike.manheim@ncwm.com or Darrell Flocken at darrell. fl ocken@ncwm.com.

Before you submit your application, there are a few things that you should recognize. For instance: 1. NTEP will not accept applications for Electric Vehicle Fueling Systems that charge using Direct Current (DC) voltage until there are nationally recognized standards and testing equipment for the certi fi cation of those systems. 2. The Handbook 44 Electric Vehicle Fueling System Code is a “Tentative” code. Therefore, NTEP Certi fi cates of Conformance will have a “Provisional” or “P” Status. When NCWM removes the tentative status of the code, NTEP will assess whether there have been changes to the code since your Certi fi cate was issued that will require additional evaluation of your system before removing the provisional status of the Certi fi cate. 3. NTEP will accept test data for evaluations performed by the California Type Approval Laboratory before and after the date of this letter. However, as of this letter, the California Code and the Handbook 44 Code have a few di ff erences related to device requirements. These di ff erences are: a. The speci fi cations for the Value of the Smallest Unit of Measure. The California Code requires this value to be either 0.0005MJ or 0.0001 kWh, depending on the device’s unit of measurement. The speci fi cation in Handbook 44 requires this value to be either 0.005 MJ or 0.001 kWh, depending on the device’s unit of measurement. To address this discrepancy, NTEP will note on the Certi fi cate of Conformance that the device

First, the NCWM website Safety Awareness page (https://www.ncwm.com/safety) is a valuable resource where you can fi nd previous safety articles, safety program resources, and the results of previous safety surveys. Here you will also fi nd the names and emails to the various liaisons for your region. If you ever have a safety or training concern, I ask that you please reach out to them or I and we will try to fi nd the answers you are looking for. Second, is the safety survey, as I mentioned above. NCWM recently sent the new 2021 safety survey out to the 50 Weights and Measures directors. I ask that all the directors take the time to fi ll out the survey and submit by June 1. The results of this survey, presented at the Annual NCWM meeting, act as a gauge to understand where safety needs to be addressed and assists in bringing awareness to other members of NCWM who may not have encountered those safety concerns. Periodically, youmay receive an email regarding safety from NCWM. My hope here is to heighten awareness among our members and their employees. The point is to reduce accidents by being prepared, by being informed, and by voicing concerns when you see a safety issue happening in the fi eld. Sometimes new safety concerns occur suddenly and by sending out a quick email, we can disseminate that information quickly and e ffi ciently to our sta ff , inspectors in the fi eld, and/or in the laboratories.

Finally, I would like to stress the importance of training and worksite assessments. Training encourages learning and expanding of knowledge to gain the tools and information that not only reduce accidents and save lives, but alsohelp inmaking theoverall conditions at gas pumps, terminals, marinas, scales, labs, etc., safe and reliable for customers and employees.

database of business establishments with a complete inventory of devices. Full detail inspection data allows management the ability to better measure economic impact of the W&M program.

Work site assessments are an incredibly useful tool and can relay information quickly when training new personnel or cross training existing personnel. These assessments can be used in a wide variety of operations and, again, keep employees aware of the hazards they may encounter while on a job site. Again, if you would like to see more information concerning safety or training on the NCWM website, please reach out to me or one of your liaisons and we will do our best to meet the needs for safety in the NCWM community. Thank you and stay safe out there.
